I like that way of thinking.
My parents have some original standard 8 cine heirloom footage.
They also have VHS dubs of them.
I've got a DV copy of it.
My siblings have copies I've burned on DVD.
I've got more recent heirloom footage.
I've got the original camera DVs and the final edit run back to DV.
(Err, I've also got a 250Gb IDE drive in a ziplock bag, but I'm
paraniod)
Friends and relatives have DVD copies of it[0].
Grandparents *also* have final edits on DV, in a ziplock bag, with
sillia.

[0] They got a real kick out of some spilt-screen showing *me* at 6
months old [B&H clockwork standard 8] next to my 6 month-old son [XM2 SD
DV] :-)
